News Izak Rankine, Gold coast holding Rankine to Ransom- #FreeIzak

Mod note:

Opposition posters making outlandish trade suggestions to bait the Crows board will be considered trolls and dealt with in the usual manner

No one wants a repeat of the Gibbs thread

 

[Apsaalooke]

Pick 5 could also fail spectacularly, FWIW. Hell, look at McAsey

Pick 5 didn’t fail, we did

I'll have to listen to CrowCast this week then to get what he meant

My bad, I didn't realise that rule had been removed. So we need two spots for Strachan and Butts as others have said. Murray, Keayes and Parnell can stay on.

I don't think the rule has been removed it's just that they've both maxxed out their 4 years, both drafted in 2018?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

We need to be ruthless but unfortunately we’re not.

Don't forget, part of the reason Dawson and Rankine agreed to come to ADEL was because of Nicks

Dawson had a better year, than his last at SYD ......Soligo ...Fogs .....Thilthorpe ....Hinge and Berry .....all progressing nicely under Nicks

There's simply no evidence, what you're saying is true

2 can play the emoji game.

Matt Crouch on a wing

Dawson at half back

Doedee 1:1 defender

Murphy and McHenry small forward for sweet FA goals

Cook, Gollant, Worrel playing sanfl all year

ROB plodding in AFL all year

 

[Crow till I die]

I like how Geelong snaffle pick 7 and some player they made out like they wanted from GC, yet have offered pick 34 for Henry from Collingwood and want a 1st rounder for Ratugolea. IF they pull all that off and its a big IF, it puts everything into perspective re our handing over pick 5

Yep, I need to learn to read!

We need to be ruthless but unfortunately we’re not.

Being smart is different from being ruthless. If we go flat out and look to burn GC because we think we can it can hurt us long term, lets say Rachele chooses GC at the end of his contract and GC are at the position of picking first in the PS. Why would they even think about negotiating with us. Being ruthless has to be the most over rated term in trades.

[Big Dub]

So in a crucial year of our draft and youth-driven rebuild, we're going to bring in a small forward, a skinny defender and a second rounder.

We obviously highly rate our current list.

There is no top end mid available with pick 5, so we are bringing in a top end small fwd/mid.

We will bring in 2 second round players despite only having one second round pick.

We used picks from this year to bring in a top end wing/ half back and a solid mid last year.

What exactly were you hoping for?

(And don't say trading our future first from next year to draft a non-top end mid. That won't fix our "no top end mid" problem, which our first next year might)

The AFL did say that the 4th year was a 2022-only thing. But the AFL lies about as often as Gil the Dill breathes in & out.

 

[Southerntakeover]

We're paying more than is probable if he just entered the national draft.

How?

Cook, Gollant, Worrel playing sanfl all year

ROB plodding in AFL all year

ROB has been ROB the last few years ......no change

Cook, Gollant, and Worrell .....all good reasons to have played SANFL

Cook, working on competitveness .....Gollant, still needing to get stronger, particularly the hands ...too many balls hitting his hands and spilling out

Worrell, travelling OK .....but not belting the door down ....by his own admission, he's had a lot of improving to do on his first AFL game, last year

Surprising he didn’t make it as a coach.

we do, this is our rebuild complete. They reckon this group can make the 8, that's all there is to an AFC rebuild.

he can replace binuk

The contested marking of ROB from 2020 is very scarce these days, though

Not really more, just swapping picks.

Wouldn't have a problem with it, but he's focusing on a single, lone player. Luke Jackson getting a million a year to go home in his 3rd year? No problem! Taranto and Hopper getting 7 year deals? Sweet as! Rankine getting a big deal and coming home? Oooh, that's trouble.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lol, wouldn't leave his laptop to mull of facts... so no time to speak to players.

Has he said anything remotely similar about JHF? Because if he hasn’t that’s a bit of a red flag…

 

[Flip Side]

People can put up as much draft highlights as they like, his ‘talent’ and ‘potential’ before being drafted was excellent, but his time at GC has shown only glimpses of that talent, and it certainly hasn’t produced any consistent form.

If you’re coughing up Pick 5 you want it to be for someone who ticks all the boxes, and he doesn’t. Cerra for example went for Pick 6, is a bonafide midfield gun that got traded to Carlton off the back of a brilliant run of form and DID tick all the boxes. Rankine nowhere close.

A lot of people on this thread trying to polish an absolute turd of a trade.

Cerra, you’d take Cerra with pick 5?
The so called gun who had less clearances, less tackles, less contested possessions than Berry. More turnovers though. More uncontested possession.

This is the same Cerra who went missing in the big moments in the final 4 games and couldn’t get Carlton to finals, and had blues supporters asking if his name translated to turd? That guy

Interesting choice, not ticking all the boxes

 

[rabidcrow]

Accept that .....but then, what is the advantage of delaying the trade ....serves no purpose, other than to "appear" to be negotiating hard ......we must have got a copy of the Dodoro trading manual ?

Maybe waiting to see if we create another list spot and what sort of picks we need
